Mike,
As a member of the "Delorean Touring Society" we, as a group of Delorean 
owners, have in the past attended an event held by the Wisconsin Sports Car 
Club. They used to hold a 4 day event every year called the Sports Car GT Classic which included road rallies and fun runs and track events all over Wisconsin. This event was always done at the same time as the June Sprint races held at Road America, and one part of this Sports Car Club event was the opportunity to get in a half hour of track time at Road America on the Saturday the races are being held. And at this event we had NO track speed limits. We could go as hard and as fast as we, or the car, would allow. Like you said, the 
Delorean definitely could use more power and better brakes to do this type of 
driving, but all in all it is a very good car and held it's own very well 
with other cars in it's class. Road America is a beautiful place and driving 
a Delorean around this 4 mile road course is one heck of an experience. 
Matter of fact, the Wisconsin Sports Car Club web site and club brochures 
used a photo of our 5 Deloreans coming up the main straight at Road America 
as one of their main advertising pictures for quite a few years. I think this 
was from 1996 or 97.
